Happening live on FB. WXPI-TV on FB.

This stems from the death of the 17 year old, Antwone Rose Jr. (no relation to Pete) where he was gunned down in the line of fire by a police officer in Pittsburgh.

I had read reports that the police officer involved in the shooting had only been sworn in minutes prior to the incident. Not sure if this is actually true as anyone with a mouth, opinion or bias can basically say anything online and have it spread like wild fire.

It took 4 hours to get from Pittsburgh Airport to the house because of this crap - most of it spent stopped between the Oakland exit and the Squirrel Hill tunnel.

frick them and frick their cause. Whatever they are bitching about, just assume I take the opposite stance.

He was sworn into the police department that morning about two hours prior BUT... he has been a working officer in the adjoining jurisdiction for over seven years. They are trying to make it look like he is a brand new cop that didn’t know what he was doing but that isn’t the case.

Well, there are some road closures in the Pittsburgh area at the moment on Google maps, albeit some are listed "closed until August", which I assume is construction, not protests.

Sounds like only for that department.

quote:

Sources tell KDKA political editor Jon Delano that the East Pittsburgh officer, in his 20s, has been on duty in East Pittsburgh for just three weeks and was sworn in about 90 minutes before the actual shooting. Although, he’s been an officer in the region since 2011.


But this paragraph is buried in the article titled

I'm really hoping Trump pardons him. He should be in the HOF.

My son wanted to ride down to the Pittsburg protesters area on his scooter. When I told him that it was too dangerous, he moped around the house.

Good way to get ran over. What is the point of stopping traffic on an interstate? Idiots.

That little hooligan wasn’t gunned down, he resisted arrest. You can tell how much northerners are pussies. Me and my hands all have “snowflake proof” brush guards on our welding trucks. They know what to do. If you show up to the unit late because protestors were on the interstate I’ll can your arse

I wonder who would get mad at these protesters if they blocked the road to the Welfare office.
